Sure enough, several of the older leaders among the suspects stood up, and when they opened their mouths to ask Bai Ruowen for wages, Bai Ruowen thought that Shen Yutian hadn't mentioned this matter from beginning to end!

It's no wonder that he felt weird at the time, but now that the problem has come out, he can only bite the bullet and go to Shen Yutian.?

Shen Yutian first reproached him when he heard his statement: "Bai Zhubo, you really didn't think about this matter, why didn't you explain it at that time?" ”?

Bai Ruowen was at a loss, so he could only keep nodding his head and saying yes.

When Shen Yutian saw him like this, not only was he not in a hurry, but said slowly: "These suspects don't know how they will be released in the future, why do they still want money?" ”?

Bai Ruowen was even more dilemma when he heard it.

"That's it," Shen Yutian ordered: "Master Bai, you delay for a few days first, and after the spring ploughing is over, take these suspects back to the prison, bring out those leaders, and clean them all up, and see if they dare to be stubborn." ”?

Bai Ruowen and Shen Yutian couldn't get the money, so they had to go back to appease and prevaricate, and temporarily suppressed the turmoil.

But within two days, for some reason, some of these suspects heard that the county had no intention of paying wages at all, and for a while the crowd was excited, and two foremen agitated, one of whom shouted: "I heard that the Taiping army is fighting in the Jiangxi area, and there is a righteous act of 'the world is equalized, and all the people eat together', we might as well reverse this Qing Dynasty, and there may be a way to live in the future!" ”?

This shout came out, and all the five hundred people became agitated, where could the ten township soldiers still be able to suppress the bullets, and fifty or sixty of them took the lead in making a move, swarming up, knocking the ten township soldiers to the ground, snatching their weapons and rushing out of Nanwu County.

Bai Ruowen was dumbfounded at the time, he was a scholar, where had he ever seen such a battle, the whole person was stunned and didn't dare to move.

A leader ran to his side and hugged his fists and said, "Bai Zhubo, I'm really sorry!" I have been taking care of you for the past few months, and my brother is grateful, and if my brother gets an official and a half position in the Taiping Army in the future, he will definitely come back to repay you! ”?

The leader turned around and ran.

This sentence was unintentional, but the listener had a heart, and it was transmitted to Shen Yutian's ears by those villagers, Shen Yutian was furious, not only imprisoned Bai Ruowen on the charge of colluding against the party, but also put all the responsibility for causing the riot on Bai Ruowen's body.

As soon as Bai Ling'er heard that her father had an accident, she hurriedly went to Shen Yutian's mansion to beg bitterly, and Shen Yutian said: "Virtuous niece, this official also wants to help your father plead with Shangfeng, but he just needs to dredge up the relationship, is this ......"?

When Bai Ling'er heard this, she also understood that dredging the relationship really needed money, so she asked timidly: "Shen Shibo, I don't know how many silver taels are needed to dredge the relationship between the upper and lower levels......

Shen Yutian glanced at her and sighed: "No matter what, I have to ask for a thousand taels of silver!" ”

When Bai Ling'er heard that she wanted a thousand taels of silver, she thought that although they were scholars, her father Bai Ruowen had always been honest as an official, and his annual salary was only twenty taels of silver, where would I find this thousand taels of silver?

She was very anxious in her heart, so she hurriedly said goodbye to Shen Yutian and returned home, found a housekeeper to carefully calculate all night, and on the morning of the second day, she went out of the hall, and without saying a word, she began to sell all the belongings in the house, and dismissed all the slaves, and was busy all day.

By sunset, she was originally the eldest lady of the Bai family, but now she was alone.

She held the silver ticket of eight hundred taels tightly in her hand, and looked at Jin Wuxi Shen stupidly, and the old mansion of the family had slowly disappeared into darkness, until it was swallowed up by the night.

She didn't dare to delay, so she begged to see Shen Yutian overnight, and gave Shen Yutian a silver ticket of eight hundred taels tremblingly.

"Shibo, the slave family sold all their wealth, and now there are only these eight hundred taels ......"

Shen Yutian took the silver ticket and glanced at it, shook his head and said, "This money is not enough, and it is already the lowest amount to add up and down a thousand taels." ”

"How is this a good ......" Bai Ling'er became nervous.

Shen Yutian looked at her and comforted Bai Ling'er: "This official and Brother Bai are also colleagues, so they won't sit idly by." ”

"That's it," Shen Yutian paced a few steps and said, "I'll take out all my money over the years, and give you two hundred taels of silver, and you can write me a note!" ”

Bai Ling'er was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Shen Yutian and said, "Shibo is so gracious, the slave family is really beyond repayment!" ”

Shen Yutian hurriedly helped her up, instructed his subordinates to take out the pen and ink, and wrote the document after a while, Bai Ling'er was full of gratitude, and signed and drew the document without reading it.

After Shen Yutian put away the paperwork, he looked at Bai Ling'er standing aside with low eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Virtuous niece, I heard that you have sold all the Bai family's real estate today, and now I am afraid that there is nowhere to live, and this official really can't bear it." ”

"That's it," Shen Yutian instructed: "You will live in my house these days, one is for you to be temporarily accommodated, and the other is convenient for you to help your father with some matters, do you think this is good?" ”

When Bai Ling'er heard this, she was even more grateful, so she followed her to temporarily settle down in the west wing of Shen Yutian's mansion.

Shen Yutian is also kind, and his subordinates are arranged to serve him very thoughtfully.

A few days later, there was a rat infestation in the west chamber, which made Bai Ling'er scream in surprise, and after Shen Yutian learned about it, he arranged for an old housekeeper in the Shen Mansion to bring people over to spread the medicine, and Bai Ling'er waited with peace of mind.

This old steward Bai Ling'er recognized him, his name was Yang Xiaochun, and he was Bai Ruowen's fellow villager, Bai Ling'er had seen him when he was a child, and he used to call him Uncle Yang.

This Uncle Yang was taken aback at first when he saw Bai Ling'er, but after quietly arranging for his subordinates to sprinkle medicine, he just waited for the people to leave, but he stood alone at the door and didn't leave, he looked up at Bai Ling'er, and lowered his head to wipe the corners of his eyes, Bai Ling'er also felt a little strange, and when she got closer, she found that Yang Bo's face was full of tears.

Bai Ling'er was surprised, and hurriedly asked, "It's Uncle Yang, right?" I'm Ling'er, we haven't seen each other in years, have we? What's wrong with you? ”

Uncle Yang wiped away his tears, pulled Bai Ling'er back into the room without saying a word, looked around for a while, turned his head and said a word to Bai Ling'er, which surprised her fiercely.

I only heard him say, "Eldest niece, why are you here?" Master Bai's life and death are at stake, why are you still here? ”

Bai Ling'er didn't know why, and asked in a daze: "Uncle Yang, what do you mean by this?" ”

Uncle Yang first closed the door tightly, and then turned his head to tell the truth.

It turned out that Uncle Yang was responsible for cleaning up all the miscellaneous items in Shen Yutian's house, and when he was cleaning up Shen Yutian's study two days ago, he accidentally saw an official document, which was really extraordinary.

This is a reply letter issued by Zhang Yunlan, the new Fujian prosecutor, to Shen Yutian, which states that the troubled times should be re-enacted, especially during the encirclement and suppression of bandits, and the case of Bai Ruowen's collusion with Changmao should be dealt with strictly and severely.

Bai Ling'er was shocked when she heard this, and kept shaking her head and said: "No, no, Shen Shibo also told me that Shangfeng has been gracious, and my father will release the ...... when he goes home in a few days."

Bai Ling'er's face turned pale, and her heart was already in chaos.

Fujian according to the judgment of Zhang Yunlan!

Judgment before the trial is made......

Beheading!

This is a careless disregard for human life......

Father! My daughter is incompetent......
